COVER STORY

Managed care and dentistry: promises and problems



M Marcus, ID Coulter, Freed JR, KA Atchison, JA Gershen, and VW Spolsky
University of California, Los Angeles, School of Dentistry 90095-1668, USA.

Using data from current programs, the authors contrast the original promises with the realities of managed care in dentistry.
